I disagree. There's plenty of good players here more than capable of competing in this league. Our lack of organisation anywhere on the pitch is laughable though.

We consistently give goals away in the most charitable of circumstances.

Yes that is absolutely correct. Lack of organisation is the key phrase. That should be Sherwoods' remit and he has proved in most of the games he has been in charge that he cannot do it.

Nothing the matter with the players brought in.They just need to be used properly.

I agree that the selection and organisation could be a lot better. It is the manager who is picking these players that keep making mistakes.
As i keep saying Vlaar Delph Benteke and Cleverley are better than any of those players that are in thier positions.
How we can expect to do better with worse players?

We even had a replacement Goalkeeper better than the now awful Guzan.

I saw my firsrt game live yesterday and other than jack in spells and Richards the rest were shit to average.

To add, the 4 Sherwood era signings playing yesterda.
Gana, is tidy but has no influence on the game what so ever.
Gestede is a Donkey,
Richards played well and his best signing.
Lescott is so past it, it is embaressing.

If we lose against Swansea, Sherwood has to go. Any manager that oversees 8 losses in the first 10 games of the season cannot have any complaints, or excuses. I know Sherwood has been looking to suggest the players weren't his choices, but I fully believe that these players are good enough and aren't being used correctly.

He has form for chucking players under the bus when things aren't going his way and I said as much when he was appointed; he did it at Spurs and he's doing it here. He blagged himself into this job and is getting found out as I suspect we all knew he would, despite hoping he would be a success.
I disagree these players are not good enough

Good enough for what, though?

Not good enough for top six, but too good for bottom six, I'd say. The argument about the players and whether they are a big cause of our shitness really rests on whether we think Sherwood is getting the best out of them. I don't think he is, not nearly.

The squad we have is good enough to be a 'comfortable' mid-table, the manager is failing to get anything like the best out of them. For me, it's that simple.

Biggest beef I have with Sherwood this season was that the Leicester first half team was the one to build on and slightly tweek. Best football we played this season. Now he just keeps rolling the dice.......amateur.

My main beef with Sherwood at the moment is how he's made Ashley Westwood the main player in the side. It's like he thinks he's Iniesta or something. But he is, and always will be at best a lower Championship player. We have no momentum, no moments of excitement, and no imagination. I look at Norwich, who just got a hiding, and I think they have man-for-man a more inferior squad to ours, yet they would probably piss all over us right now. How can our squad be worse than Bournemouth's? It's full of international footballers and players with European experience.

You have shit managers, you can have the best players in the league and you'll only ever be frustrated.

Mmm every week I scream at my computer and every week it's in disbelief because every week we look more than capable of beating anybody (apart from 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' but Sherwood for they completely wrong). Quite honestly I don't know how I feel right now. How do you compare losing 8-0 at Chelski and frankly having zero possession to Saturday having more possession than them and losing to two of the shittiest goals you will ever see?!? The optimist in me wants to say wears on the right track, the pessimist says if we don't get some turn of luck in the next 2 games we're fucked. And the most bizarre if all I feel quite sanguine about it all

I keep hearing this, yet we have a one dimensional centre forward, problems in the midfield, dodgy defenders across the back 4 and a goalkeeeper who is shot to bits.
We need 3 players in the spine to save us, maybe 4.
This is no defence of Sherwood, he has made a difficult situation a lot worse with his idiotic Selections, Tactics and use of subs.
Sorry but what I see is
Goalkeeper- Basket case
Amavi, lacks concentration.
Vertout and Gana show promise but miles away from PL standard.
Ayew- neither quick nor powerfull, no threat in an attacking sense.
Richards looks alright in that he is commited, but an organiser? and no decent partner.
Gestede can only head the ball (john Terry could not believe he got someone to mark slower than him)
Neither Jack or Gill really create anything.

I'm not so sure . Most of are players are either lightweight or garbage or both. Who for example would get into other PL sides - Guzan - No, Amavi - No, Hutton No, Lescott No, westwood No, etcetc etc etc

The same Amavi that most on here have said has massive potential and don't think we'll be able to keep him? Hutton would get into other PL sides as well, and as much as he isn't rated on here so would Westwood.

I think we've got some decent players, but the make up of the squad us imbalanced, and we have some absolute fucking dross playing in a couple of spots every week.

We look a lot like 86-87 in that sense. I think were in big trouble.

More like, what the fuck am I doing here?

To come to the Premier League and see the shit surrounding them must be pretty disheartening. In my opinion Amavi could've gone a tier higher and been fine.. Spurs, Liverpool, Southampton etc.
